If you are using software drivers, use following procedure to install Microsoft’s iSCSI Software Initiator.
NOTE:
You do not need TOE-equipped (Transmission Control Protocol [TCP] Offload Engine) or special
iSCSI-capable GbE HBAs to work with software initiators. Any standard Network Interface Card (NIC)
can serve as an iSCSI network interface device; however, HP Storage strongly recommends that you
use GbE for enhanced performance.
